The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

The phrase ‘right hand’ bears great significance in the Bible. It portrays a position of privilege – a place of honour and status. For example, our Lord Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of the Father (Hebrews 1:3). Hebrews 12:2 also reveals that after Jesus suffered and died on the cross, He sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. The right hand of God represents His ultimate strength and power.
Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
1 Peter 3:22
The person being referred to in the Scripture above is Jesus. He is the One on the right hand of God with all powers in subjection to Him. No matter the earthly position a fellow occupies, there is more power and authority at the right hand of God. God’s right hand is the place where all angels, authorities, and powers submit to Him.
Psalm 18:35 also reveals that the right hand of God is the place of sustenance and help. Today’s memory verse tells us that as God’s children, we are seated together with Christ, and since He is at God’s right hand, we are also there with Him.
Being at the right hand of God means that you will never lack help and provision. It means that you will always find the timely and abundant help you need.
Those who are at God’s right hand are never small because His right hand is the place of power, as we see in Mark 14:62, which says: “And Jesus said, 1 am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.” This means that, as Christians, we are a people of power and influence. We enjoy help, sustenance, and favour from God.
Unfortunately, however, while this is our identity as God’s children, some believers are living far away from this reality because, like the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32, they have wandered far away from the Father’s right hand. They have heeded the call of sin and frustrated God’s grace upon their lives.
Beloved, if you have not surrendered to God, or if you have wandered away from Him, I invite you today to come unto Him. He is knocking at the door of your heart (Revelation 3:20); open it up to Him. He is waiting for you earnestly with open arms; don’t keep Him waiting.
REFLECTION:
Are you occupying your place at God’s right hand?
